If you’re attending Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025, there is a LEGO exclusive item that you can get at the convention. StarWars.com has revealed some exclusives for the event and LEGO will have a printed tile with the Star Wars Celebration logo written out in Japanese. You can get it as a gift with purchase at the LEGO booth and there will be limited quantities. Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025 will be happening April 18-20.
Yesterday’s announcement of the LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: The Shire (10354) may have given a hint to the future of the LOTR theme. Towards the end of the press release, there was a curious statement which read:
A true collector’s item that completes the trilogy of sets, following previous Barad-dûr™ and Rivendell™ launches, the LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: The Shire set is a testament to the enduring power of friendship, adventure, and the magic of Middle-earth™.
This latest set seems to suggest that this will be it for The Lord of the Rings theme for the Icons line following Rivendell (10316) and Barad-dur (10333). I can’t imagine LEGO being done after just three sets as there’s still many more locations that they could do such as Khazad-dum/Mines of Moria, Gondor/Minas Tirith, or Helm’s Deep. They also also shift to large scale character builds like the Balrog, an Oliphaunt, a Fell Beast, or even Smaug. Either way, we’ll just have to see what LEGO has planned for the future of The Lord of the Rings.
If you didn’t see it this morning, LEGO has revealed the LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: Smeagol & Deagol (40761) gift with purchase set to go along with The Shire (10354). The 181 piece set features the opening fishing scene in The Return of the King where Smeagol and Deagol eventually fight over the One Ring. The set will be available from April 2-8 only when you purchase The Shire, while supplies last.
